...And I was a victim

It was on the 23rd December,2011.An unforgettable day that left me with an everlasting scar. My childhood friend dropped me about 3mins walk away from home after an evening hangout. She could not get exactly to my house because of this barricade that was normally locked at 7pm. As she drove off, i walked into one of the most terrible experience i ever had in my entire life.

Some strange guy walked up to me(another of his gang member watching from afar), held my jeans trouser and said in the local pidgin "oya give me your phone" swiftly and quickly I gave him the hand bag, he gave me this scary look and Brought out a dagger. He stabbed me on my left hand for no reason, though it was glaring he had other terrible intention . He waited to see me in pains ,not satisfied, he stabbed me again this time deeper , harder and yes there was blood all over my white top . Thinking he  stabbed my stomach ,he said " you and you sisters go dey show una sef like say na only una go school" and fled the scene with my handbag. Emergency hormone I guess ,i  felt no pain of the stab until he was gone, all of a sudden i felt something rushed down my jeans, it was blood! I managed to walk to my gate in my dizzy state because i  lost a lot of blood and kept ringing the bell.  My twin and elder sister came out and saw me in a pool Of blood,  the stab had touched an artery and blood  gushed out everywhere.  I was rushed  to a nearby hospital ,was stitched up.  I later noticed  my fingers were paralysed. The  annoying part of my whole experience was that all the  passer by  did not even try to help nor stop the hoodlums.
That psychological effect of  a male shadow behind me or walking by my side still scares me so bad . Up till date my  fingers are yet to be  normal as it was  before the occurrence . I am 6ft 3inches and I can't play basketball often like I used to because I get this "shocks"  when others touches or hits my  hand .

Have you been a victim of domestic violence?

Have you witnessed a situation like mine and walk past without  calling  for help because of fright?
